Amazon.com Review

The second generation of All-Clad's Master Chef line (MC2), this cookware combines brushed aluminum with stainless-steel accents for a contemporary look. Like All-Clad's other renowned cookware collections, Master Chef provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All- Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three- ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel.

This classic, straight-sided, 4-quart sauté pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 10-1/2 inches in diameter and 3- 1/4 inches deep, perfect for sautéing chicken for a crowd or braising short ribs on the stovetop under its gleaming lid. Its polished 18/10 stainless- steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Like the pan's loop handle, the long handle (holed for hanging on hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Designed for cooking meat or vegetables in a small amount of oil or butter while continuously tossing, stirring, or shaking. The lid lets you finish a dish under cover without changing pans, and the stay-cool stick handle and helper handle make it easy to lift. The 4-quart pan has the classic design with flat bottom and straight sides, for sauteing, pan- frying, or with the lid for braising. The next generation of All-Clad's original Master-Chef line, MC2 brings a shimmering brushed aluminum exterior to the classic mirror-finished interior and handles of 18/10 stainless steel, for modern industrial style with time-tested cooking performance. The brushed finish can handle everyday wear and tear and still look great. A triple-layer core of pure aluminum extends across the bottom and up the sides for unsurpassed heat conductivity with no hot spots. The rolled lip of the pan ensures drip-free transfer of contents, and the long stick handle, secured by noncorrosive stainless steel rivets, stays cool during normal stovetop use..

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST and ONLY pan no kitchen should be without!, April 23, 2004

This review is from: All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-Quart Saute Pan (Kitchen)

Of the top 5 pans that no kitchen should be with out, the ALL-Clad MC2 saute pan is tied for number one in my book. Not only does the Master Chef 2 line cook better then ALL-Clad's "bread and butter" stainless line, it's also less expensive. Sauteing, shallow frying, poaching, steaming, you name it this pan can do it. I'm not a big fan of buying cookware sets, and that's why i purchased this pan seperately and paid the price, but its worth every penny. Cooking in this saute pan produces an incredible "fond" (little bits of food particles), that when deglazed, produce an extraordinary pan sauce. This is something I would NEVER want to cook without. In fact, I plan on willing it to my children so they can have the same enjoyment that I have had.

This review is from: All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-Quart Saute Pan (Kitchen)

This pan is great! I use it on an almost daily basis for sauces, stir fry, and the like. High sides keep the sauce in the pan and off the stovetop. Cleans easily. This pan and the 6 quart saute pan are the two pans I use the most.

This review is from: All-Clad Master Chef 2 4-Quart Saute Pan (Kitchen)

Most amateur cooks are either unaware of or ignore the true French saute pan, of which this is a superb exemplar. The very best thing about this shape, with accompanying lid, is that it can work as either a saute or as a brazing pan, since it has all the best features to braize (low sides and lid).

I recently got this to replace my old Calphalon anodized aluminum pots, as I ultimately felt these did not work as well on electric stoves as they did on gas. Among other things, they actually tended to warp a bit. I'm expecting this stainless steel clad construction will satisfy me for far longer than the old black aluminum.

I've used this bad boy several times since I've gotten it and it has worked like a champ. I expect to use it almost as often as the workhorse 6 quart stock pot.
